No soundcard in ALSA

[vanweezy]

I recently attempted to move to OSS in hopes of more compatibility with my soundcard (creative blaster x-fi). it didn't work out as hoped, and i am not moving back to ALSA, however after reinstalling ALSA i get

eric@beanie:~$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:205: no soundcards found...

and then

Check here:

For a driver for your sound card, you should also check Creative's web site to see if there are newer drivers.

[Syam_]

Have same audio issue upgrading from jaunty to karmic with ICH7 Audio Intel HDA :

aplay -l
aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...

Just do a

modprobe snd-hda-intel

Then it work for me.

Additionaly, install the gnome-alsamixer (because audio applet don't allow me to access any mixer as jaunty does ..)

gnome-alsamixer
